After lunch.
Inner disciple square, southwest corner.
Qin Zheng is leisurely sitting on a red sandalwood chair.
Zhao Gao stood respectfully behind him.
In front of Qin Zheng is a mahogany tea table. On it is a pot of fragrant tea and two white porcelain teacups.
In front of the coffee table stood Chen Che, Xuan Bai, and Wang Wu.
These three people were the cream of the crop among the eight Network Attendants. Their cultivation had reached the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.
On the left in front of them, there was a large wooden sign that was as tall as a person. There were two lines of words written on it.
The content was as follows:
To recruit ordinary guards, one's cultivation had to be at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm or above.
At this moment, there were already dozens of inner disciples watching. Some were also discussing in low voices.
"Who is this person? He had quite the style! However, he actually wanted to recruit guards at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm or above. Wasn't the requirement a little too high?”
"That's right! I'm only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. I can't even register if I wanted to.”
……
Qin Zheng smiled as he lifted a cup of fragrant tea and lightly took a sip.
Everyone's discussion naturally could not escape his ability to hear.
He silently swept a glance at everyone and discovered that most of these people's cultivation levels were at the Fourth to Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.
There were only three or four Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivators.
There was not a single one above the seventh rank.
According to Qin Zheng's understanding, the cultivation of the inner court disciples of Taiyi Palace spanned between the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak of the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm.
However, most of them were stuck at the Fourth or Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.
A few outstanding ones had reached the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.
Those who could reach the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm were all seeds that could become legacy disciples. They were extremely rare.
Among the tens of thousands of inner disciples, less than 40 had reached the seventh level, and only a few had reached the peak of the seventh level.
In order to become a true disciple, one had to be at least at the peak of the seventh rank. Otherwise, there was no hope.
Ding! Congratulations, your follower Zhang Han has broken through to the peak of the 7th rank. You have obtained a large number of attribute points from your follower Zhang Han.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing your strength!
"Eh? Zhang Han finally broke through!"
This sudden good news caused Qin Zheng to be overjoyed.
Then, a strong warm current poured into his body.
He immediately closed his eyes comfortably and slowly experienced the increase in his strength.
However, he carefully concealed all of this with his Breath Holding Technique so that the people around him wouldn't discover it.
A moment later, that energy completely merged into Qin Zheng's body.
"Not bad! His strength had increased again! Zhang Han broke through at the right time. He was finally qualified to participate in the legacy martial competition tomorrow.”
Qin Zheng opens his eyes in satisfaction. The corners of his mouth contain a smile as he gently puts down the teacup in his hand.
This casual action of his caused the eyes of the female disciples in the crowd to light up. They all felt that Qin Zheng was too handsome.
"Senior Sister! This little junior brother's movements were so elegant just now!”
A slim female disciple in white, with a slightly red face, whispered into the ear of a female disciple in red.
"Hehe! Junior Sister Bai, you can't have taken a fancy to him, right?”
The red clothed female disciple smiled sweetly, but her peripheral vision was shooting towards Qin Zheng.
The reactions of the female disciples naturally made some male disciples jealous.
Immediately, a short and fat male disciple said sourly,"What's the use of being good-looking? In today's world, men had to be strong enough to be useful. You women are so short-sighted!”
Another tanned and skinny male disciple echoed,"That makes sense! You women only know how to judge a book by its cover! How vulgar!"
……
These arguments naturally entered Qin Zheng's ears.
Qin Zheng lightly smiled, feeling somewhat speechless.
At once, Qin Zheng beckoned to Zhao Gao.
"Young Master, what instructions do you have?"
Zhao Gao lowered his head respectfully.
"Zhang Han has already come out of seclusion. Send someone to call him over.”
"Yes!"
Zhao Gao immediately accepted the order.
Then, he sent Wang Wu to summon Zhang Han.
At this moment, more and more disciples gathered around to watch. The number of people had already reached more than a hundred.
The time that everyone had been watching was not short either. Finally, a Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm disciple walked out.
This disciple looked to be in his twenties. He had dark skin, a slightly plump figure, and an arrogant expression on his face.
He glanced at Chen Che and Xuan Bai with contempt before looking at Qin Zheng with a proud expression.
"Friend, I am inner sect disciple Wu Yong! I see that you want to recruit Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists as guards. I wonder if you can afford the price? I'm not a third or fourth stage martial artist, so the price is different from theirs.”
At this point, Wu Yong glanced at Chen Che and Xuan Bai from the corner of his eye.
"Money is not a problem! But…"
"Yo! Isn't this Ninth Brother?"
Qin Zheng hasn't finished speaking when a sudden voice rises from behind the crowd, interrupting his words.
This voice was none other than Qin Chengjiao.
Qin Zheng slightly frowns. A cold light instantly flashes through the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Qin Chengjiao brought a group of guards and squeezed in front of Qin Zheng.
When he saw the words on the sign, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha! Ninth brother, so you're recruiting guards here! Don't blame me for scolding you. Tomorrow is the martial arts competition. You're not cultivating properly, but you're here doing this kind of thing. You're really not doing your job properly!”
"Seventh Brother, why are you here? Are you working properly?"
Qin Zheng says sarcastically.
"Haha! Ninth brother, I'm different from you! You've been ranked last for two consecutive years. If you get the last place again this year, you will be kicked out of the Royal Family. Aren't you anxious at all?”
As soon as he said this, the crowd began to discuss in low voices.
"Eh? Ninth Brother? Royal family? Could it be that the young man sitting here is the Ninth Young Master Qin Zheng?”
"No way! Such a handsome young man was the Ninth Young Master who was rumored to be a burden to the Royal Family?”
At this moment, many people started to guess Qin Zheng's identity. The way they looked at Qin Zheng started to change.
"Friend, are you the Ninth Young Master Qin Zheng?" Wu Yong asked.”
"It's me!"
Qin Zheng didn't hide anything.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong's face revealed a strange expression.
Then, he cupped his hands and said,"Ninth Young Master, I made a mistake. I won't sign up for this guard."”
With that, Wu Yong retreated back into the crowd.
At the same time, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"I think Wu Yong did the right thing. This ninth young master Qin Zheng is the most mediocre young master in the royal family. There was no future to be his guard. If it were me, I wouldn't choose him even if I chose an ordinary noble.”
"Not bad! The Ninth Young Master was still a young master now. He was afraid that after tomorrow, he would be a commoner. Then, there would be no future for him to be a guard.”
……
At this moment, the crowd was muttering non-stop. No one was willing to come out and sign up.
This made Zhao Gao, Chen Che, and Xuan Bai very angry. They secretly thought that these people were really snobbish and didn't know how powerful their young master was.
All of this was naturally seen by Qin Chengjiao.
He didn't expect his casual words to have such an effect, and he immediately laughed proudly.
"Haha! Ninth brother, I'm really sorry! Seventh Brother didn't pay attention for a moment and exposed your secret. Looking at the current situation, it seems that no one is willing to be your guard. What should we do?”
Qin Chengjiao apologized, but his face was full of schadenfreude.
This made Zhao Gao and the others very unhappy.
But Qin Zheng isn't angered in the slightest. Instead, he says with a light smile: "Seventh brother, you said that I can't recruit guards, but that's not necessarily true!”
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Chengjiao sneered." Then Ninth Brother, let me take a look!”
"Haha! Good! Seventh Brother, watch carefully!"
Qin Zheng stands up with a confident expression and looks at the crowd in front of him.…….
